Disabled Parking Spaces I decided, in 2007, that I’d make it one of my new year resolutions to hound people who parked in disabled parking spaces. Well, maybe hound is too strong a word. But I’ve faithfully been approaching the non blue badge holders who park in the disabled parking spaces at Tesco’s to ask them why they do it and to hopefully shame them into leaving the spaces to the people they were intended to be used by. The best answer I have received so far came from the owner of a large silver Mercedes estate. When questioned as to why she would park in a disabled parking space when she was clearly not disabled she boldly replied: “Because I’ve got a bloody big car!” Strange, but true! Luckily, our local Tesco is going to start implementing an “annoying sticker on the windscreen” rule which I hope will be some kind of deterrent. Obviously, relying on common sense and decency just does not work with some individuals (whether they have a big car or not!). Demonstrations Removed We’ve really had no option, as the security methods we can implement don’t seem to deter the many thieves who copy our products and distribute them online. We are working on new ways to have our products demonstrated whilst protecting our interests, including screen and audio recordings of the products being used. |
